In an interview with Filmfare, Shruti Haasan was asked to reflect on all the reports and speculations about her having an affair with her friend, Aishwarya's husband, Dhanush. The actress had clearly stated that she is not going to put a microchip in her bum so that they can know the truth. Shruti had said:

"I'm not going around justifying to people. I'm not going to tell people to put a microchip in my bum and follow me, so that they can know the truth. He is my best friend in the business. He has always helped me artistically. I won't throw that in trash just because people are talking nonsense about us. I've never bothered much about what people say."

Going further in the interview, Shruti Haasan had also highlighted the fact that Dhanush was the one, who had stood by her and had encouraged her to play the lead in his wife's film, 3 when everyone was sceptical about it. Shruti had stated:

"I know there are 10,000 rumors. For me, it's a rare connect with someone. Dhanush is an important friend because when nobody thought I could play the part in 3, he stood by me and said I could do it. For anyone in any job, it's important that people have faith in you. I owe him so much. Also we get along well. We have so much to talk about."
